Lauren Jane Salt is a multidisciplinary artist based in Boorloo (Perth), Western Australia. Her practice explores the interplay between transformation, mythology, and identity—shaped by her ancestry and a background in floristry.
Working primarily with ceramics and organic materials, Salt creates sculptural works that trace cycles of growth, decay, and renewal, offering quiet reflections on personal and collective realms. She began working with clay in 2014 at North Metropolitan TAFE, where her background in ikebana and floristry naturally informed her approach to form and composition. In 2015, she studied under Master Florist Gregor Lersch in Germany, and in 2017 was awarded WA's “Florist of the Future” by the Interflora National Competition. Her floristry background continues to inform her compositional approach to clay. From 2015 to 2024,
From 2015 to 2024, Salt co-directed VOLIM—a collaborative label with fashion designer Tia Tokić—merging ceramics, textiles, and botanical design. Their final exhibition, Voće, was presented at Goolugatup Heathcote as part of the 2024 Indian Ocean Craft Triennial.
In 2025, Salt presented her debut solo exhibition Crossing Portals at Lightworks Gallery, a body of work exploring emotional, cultural, and mythological thresholds through ceramic sculpture.
In addition to her solo practice, Salt teaches hand-building and ceramic sculpture at Farmer Street Studio in North Perth, fostering a hands-on and reflective approach to creative learning.
